I don't suppose rootsweb.cob is the proper place for an obit, so I
will attempt to make it more interesting to genealogists.
1st, I gave infromation for my Dad's obit over the phone while emotionly
upset.
I could easily have checked for accuracy,but didn't and will question
obits more
from this date.
The large dairy,hog and grain farm of my grandfather was in Clermont,
but ran
almost to the Brown Co line,and I find many traces of his wife's
grandfather's
John Iden and Hermon Stone,Jr,in Brown Co,which calls the road thru his
farm,
Fagley Road.
Just as I've spent 11+ years caring for my parent[s],so did my Dad spent
11 years
on the farm caring for his stroke victam mom,before starting college.
Starting at
U Cincinnati, he was called west by a recently widowed aunt,and
graduated,Phi
Beta Kappa, from Occidental College,Pasadena,Calif. Then he hurried back
to
Bethel,Oh tomarry the 'girl back home"-teacher Ruhama Fagley in 1927. And
my
own very 1st Email reply to a genealogy querie ,Jan 1992, on Prodigy,
stated out.
'Hermon Fagley! My mom went to school to a Hermon Fagley at
Williamsburg,Oh!"
from Anna9241.
And he enjoyed his years spent teaching at Williamsburg,and New Richmond,
".
But,he had been a bee keeper since boyhood,and had planted an apple
and peach orchard on RT 125 west of Bethel soon after marriage, so he
became best known as one of sw Ohio's largest fruit growers, and owner
of a fruit market on RT 125 ,that fed Clermont and Brown Co families.
He's
pictured in the reprint edition of Rockey and Bancroft's history spinning
a
Morgan's Raider's tale for a county paper.
When they retired in 1966 to a Bethel home, my parents spent the next 20+
years helping genealogists who came from a distance to research, and
contributing
articles and pictures of historical interest to the newspapers. My mother
was a
charter member and officer of the DAR in 1927,and a founding,and active
member
of the Clermont Co,Gen Soc.
George Fagaly [Vogele] and wife from Stuttgart to downtown Cincinnati
about 1808.
As a widow,she would found the church now known as Mt Zion Methodist nw
of
Cincinnati. Among their sons was Lewis, a butcher in downtown Cincinnati,
who m
1830 young Mary Ann Fox, and had a large family that they mostly moved to
a farm on RT 133 s Bethel,Oh in 1850. A couple of their oldest were
Underground RRer's.
My 101 year Dad had uncles,not great uncles,born in the 1830's helping
slaves escape.
I've bored you enough.
